they might be considered wholly elected -- it might help. the senate could limit the number of days and make goals public. they can provide for an automatic discharge from the committee of nominations after 60 days or 90 days or something like that. in general, we should combine the forms for security clearance and financial disclosure. there is a committee working on it and we can reduce the intrusiveness of financial disclosure forms to limit some of the financial and post employment restrictions. we want careful vetting of these people and we want to have a lot of information, but sometimes it goes too far. moderating that can be a useful thing. in conclusion, the real problem is systemic. the single most important proposal is the reduction in the number of political appointees. that is what i and a number of other people have been saying for a number of years. this is not likely to happen anytime soon. the resistance is going to be great, president what loyalty, the senate wants control. it is really hard to do that. appointees that want

that election didn't work. there was unrest in the streets and the turmoil completely consumed the rest of that year. and so, basically i think this is as good as any time to start negotiations. so what is stopping us from doing this? of course there's a synergy of inaction on both sides and invested political interest to generate a kind of in group solidarity from the image of a demonized other, on the other side. but there is only one way to break this logjam, and that is, i think the two sides should, this block of marble and see the statue inside the block, apply to think to apply pressure, force, but also perspective to breakout a new compromise out of this situation. and there are risks and there are rewards to this. any politician who openly says i'm going to make peace with the other side and resolve this issue would be -- out of hand if they don't succeed. but there are also great rewards because we also know the politician, to cut his 10 year old, will have a place in history. so what is keeping the s

and we saw the results in the 2012 election. this did not cause president obama the election, it probably helped him. he had a healthy margin of victory of the popular vote. his margin was larger than his larger -- that his margin of victory. there are lots of groups you could say it about, but is also true of lesbian and gay voters. the issue almost certainly helped president obama and did not hurt president obama. the lesson is not lost on the republican party. here are my concluding thoughts. it is a complicated history to were the long road of marriage equality, the beginning is a complicated answer about backlash and the popular analysis of what is going on politically. what i want to conclude with, this has been neglected by the backlash theorists, how the courts have advanced marriage equality. i think there have been three things about what the courts have done. from my point of view, the most important is a fantastically important setting for capabilities. the word marriage in our vocabulary only meant different sects.
